SEGMENT #1 – "NewsWrap": A gay & lesbian protest in Melbourne, Australia
outside the Easter mass of anti-gay Roman Catholic soon-to-be Archbishop of

Orthodox Church Patriarch Teoctist denounces homosexuality in his Easter
sermon, but recently retired former Anglican Bishop of Edinburgh Richard
Holloway uses his Easter message to laud London gay activist Peter Tatchell
as one of five modern "Christ figures"; notable Hong Kong gay and
pro-democracy activist Leung Wah is identified as the victim of a brutal
November murder in mainland China, while international human rights watchdog
Amnesty International fears for the lives of members of Ecuador's activist
group Quitogay after they receive emailed death threats promising "to
exterminate this plague of queers"; Oscar-winning producer/director Steven
Spielberg resigns from his 10-year advisory board post with the Boy Scouts of
America because of its anti-gay policies; the Nebraska Supreme Court awards
the mother of murdered transgender Brandon Teena full damages against the
county sheriff who failed to arrest Teena's rapists, who soon after murdered
him, finding the lawman's conduct "beyond all possible bounds of decency"; a
Pulitzer Prize in music is awarded to openly-gay composer John Corigliano for
his "Symphony #2 for String Orchestra", an Editorial Writing Pulitzer goes to
David Moats of Vermont's "Rutland Herald" for his civil unions series, and
Michael Chabon, whose writings often prominently feature gay characters, wins

Kavalier & Clay"; Turkish pop star Tarkan plans to sue far-right lawmaker
Mehmet Gul for calling him gay; out and proud French lesbian tennis pro
Amelie Mauresmo wins her 3rd consecutive tournament and is now ranked #9 in
the world; Spain's opposition Socialist Party introduces a bill to extend
full marriage rights to gay and lesbian couples, while Norway's government
introduces a bill to allow gay and lesbian registered partners to co-adopt
each others' children, and Puerto Rico's Justice Department will apply
domestic violence laws to same-gender couples, but Britain's Paymaster
General says the Labour government will not recognize such couples under
inheritance and property transfer tax laws; the Colorado state Senate passes
an employment non-discrimination bill, but it'll be an uphill battle in the
GOP-controlled state House; and Minute Maid Orange Juice joins the "gay
vague" advertising trend with "buddies for life" Popeye and Bluto choosing
each other over Olive Oyl in a U.S. ad, and an Army sergeant going "In The
Navy" with the Village People in Belgium and France [written by CINDY
FRIEDMAN, with thanks to GRAHAM UNDERHILL, JASON LIN, BRIAN NUNES, CHRIS
AMBIDGE, REX WOCKNER & GREG GORDON; anchored by CINDY FRIEDMAN & GREG

SEGMENT #3 – "AudioFile" billboard [:10] + Florida State Representative
Allen Trovillion of Winter Park made headlines across the U.S. when he told a
group of gay Orlando students visiting his offices for a youth lobby day on
April 9th that they were going to bring about the downfall of society because
of their homosexuality. Ten days after their encounter with Trovillion, some
of those same students returned to the state capital, but this time they had
a warmer welcome, and encouragement from some Florida lawmakers, who
announced their intention to introduce the Dignity for All Students Act, to
protect lesbian and gay students from harassment and violence, in the next
legislative session. This report by SUSAN GAGE in Tallahassee includes
comments by state Representative KEN GOTTLIEB; student CHRIS VASQUEZ; two
moms, EILEEN O'SULLIVAN and CATHY MILLER; and FLORIDA GOVERNOR JEB BUSH (with
intro music from "Freedom To Love" by FAITH NOLAN) [4:15] + "TWO" I.D. by
MARGIE ADAM (with an excerpt from her "The Unicorn Song") [:35]. . . . . . .

folk-acoustic roots with a new solo CD (excerpts from "This Train" and "All
Over Town" from "Back Home"), SKOTT FREEDMAN's beautiful and haunting
melodies overflow in his CD "Anything Worth Mentioning" (excerpts from "Out
In Waves" and the title cut), and DAVE HALL presents a quietly reflective
look at life as a gay man in his third CD, "True" (excerpts from "His Was"
and "God Is Wide"). Add comments by each artist about their work and you've
got the latest offering from the "AudioFile" (hosted by CHRIS WILSON & PAM
MARSHALL and written and produced with CHRISTOPHER DAVID TRENTHAM and J.D.
DOYLE). . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 9:30
